Does Osprey Stratos 24 work for school?
I'm a college student and I have to walk around pretty much during the day with all my books and laptop. Is the 24 liters version big enough? or Might the 26 liters be better?.
Does this backpack have an internal laptop panel?

No, this is not a school pack- the suspension frame is curved and is not laptop-friendly. This a pack for epic 10-hour dayhikes or for hauling heavy gear, think ice axes, crampons, and rope or a heavy photocamera.

It depends on what kind of a student you are. If you carry around several large, hardcover textbooks everyday, then this is not really ideal. With a laptop, and at most 2 texts with a notebook, it will be fine for school. But if you don't bring those textbooks, or have a place to swap books between classes, then the 24 is sweet. The 26 does not give you any more room in the main compartment, as the extra 2 litres comes from the top pocket of the pack, which can hold your powercord, pens, etc. which is nice to free up a bit of room.
